 Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 7:50 pm Post subject: DRM only works the first time i start X {SOLVED} |
 |
|
I have been having some problems getting X to do DRM consistently.
The frist time i startx all is fine glxinfo shows
| Code: | | Direct Rendering: Yes |
if i then exit X and do startx again i get
| Code: | | Direct Rendering: No |
I have discovered that This is due to the Radeon and drm modules not being unloaded.
Now obviously this is easy to fix by issuing
| Code: | | modprobe -r Radeon drm |
but i have to do this as root and every time i exit X, which is a bit of a pain.
An ugly fix has been to add
| Code: | | sudo modprobe -r radeon drm |
to the startx script.
I dont remember having to do any of this in the past.
Should this be needed or have i borked something which should auto unload the modules when finished with?
Xorg 6.8.2-r4
kernel 2.6.12-r6
agp and radeon driver compiled from kernel
radeon 7200 (yes i know its old but i´m skint)
If any one can shed some light i would be greatful if not i shall leave my botched fix as is.

Hi!
I have the very opposite problem! First time I start X I get no drm  then, after restarting X, drm is back there.
Any ideas?
